Yesterday's mystery #cloud has been ID'd as #cirrocumulus (or perhaps altocumulus) but in any case of the rather rare #undulatus variety, with the waves caused by wind shear at different altitudes: https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/october-2023/ comes somewhat close; see https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/cloud-library/undulatus/ and https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/cloud-library/cirrocumulus/ for details. h/t https://scicomm.xyz/@drlucyrogers@mastodon.social

Designed-Source Reductions and a Dual-Purpose Feasibility Band for Semantic Rate-Distortion

Abstract: The joint rate-distortion framework of Stavrou and Kountouris (IEEE Transactions on Communications 2023) characterises dual-fidelity tradeoffs for semantic communication on stochastic semantic sources. Many task-oriented communication systems instead use designed sources, where the semantic object is a deterministic oracle allocation $\phi^(t)$ rather than a stochastic quantity given by nature. We isolate the subclass of designed sources under smooth concave utility with assumptions A1, A2 and Euclidean allocation codomain, and restrict the encoder class to deterministic common-category mappings. Within this subclass the SK exponential-tilting decoder and generalised Blahut--Arimoto iteration specialise to conditional-mean decoding and Lloyd--Max stationarity on $\phi^(t)$. When the second fidelity is a monotone single-letter distortion, the joint problem stays inside the SK admissible class; the common-category SK rate is lower-bounded by the max of the corresponding Shannon rate-distortion functions, with equality only when the common-category reconstruction is compatible and RDF-optimal. When the second fidelity is aggregate verification, the joint problem leaves the SK single-letter class and admits a constrained-design feasibility band $R_{\min}(\varepsilon^) \leq R \leq R_{\max}(\beta^)$ of width $\log_2(K_{\max}/K_{\min})$ bits in partition cardinality. The reduction and the band are scope statements on the SK apparatus, not modifications to it. A smart-grid economic-dispatch example with a non-technical-loss-detection contrast illustrates the band.

She won an exemption from using AI at her tech job. The Pope's remarks could fuel similar appeals.
Legal experts say employers must take AI-related religious objections seriously, as a 2023 ruling raised the bar for denying such accommodations.
